If notice.log contains ACTION_EMAIL under actions then it would have sent
the email when reading live traffic.  If you were not getting the email
then you had smtp issues, not zeek issues...

You did not need to make any of those changes, the previously shared files
were all perfect.

It is not needed.  That is code specific to the existing ssh policy to
start tracking the ssh session as soon as it is detected.  This is not
relevant to what you are doing since you only care about authentication
attempts.

You don't pass information to that event.  You should not need to do
anything with that event.

You return a record exactly the same way you return a string or a count,
there is no difference.
